Now now, Barmaley, "the Idiot" was written by Dostoevskiy. Dostoevskiy was also fond of blanking out names. Take for example Crime and Punishment, all the bridge names are blanked out!!!

Good note on the names though, I am reading мертвые души and some of the names are hilarious!!!
Wow. That was bad. Very bad. Especially since that book is sitting literally three feet from me...lol
